I actually have this reservation about any over-labeling, not just with sexuality tropes. If I see a fic heavily described as 'slowburn', I often find that the slowburn is overly dragged out and makes for a meandering mess. Fic tagged as 'heavy angst'? Cringy melodrama.

Same here. I like my tags minimal. If I see a wall of tags, I nope out of there. Sexuality/gender/ship tags seem to be particularly bad for that, but they're far from the only area in which over-tagging is a problem.

It's so disappointing when I go looking for a rare pair and I get a hit that turns out to be one pair out of 50 in a fic that spans many many fandoms.

the top tier comedy is when you get a lengthy amount of tags on a fic with descriptions like 'angst with a happy ending', 'slow-burn', etc - and then you find out the fic is about 300 words.

Same here. Minimal tags. Just enough to get the gist of the story, and the major themes (and ONE slow burn, maybe one other rephrasing of it), and we're good.

Although sometimes, just sometimes, I like the ridiculous tags people lean into lol

Ugh, I hate over-tagging. Seriously: ship, rating, MAYBE one tag about the genre especially if it's something like an AU, and basic trigger tags. That, and a good concise summary, is all you need. People do not need to include every single plot point (and certainly not every single sex act) in the tags, or the author's life story as a rationale for why they're writing the fic.
